Last night I made a big Thanksgiving style meal and had my siblings/dad over. We will be at MIL's for Thanksgiving, so I wanted to celebrate and cook on my own. I tend to be a little possessive about my holiday cooking. (and most of my favorites aren't the same at the IL T-Day. The mashed potatoes have to be lumpy bc that's how little bro loves them and when he was a kid he did *insert cute story* the stuffing can't be made with the innards/neck meat bc it freaks SIL out, even though she grew up eating it that way, No fruit pies, only pumpkin and pecan. Green beans must be in casserole form, cranberries from a can etc.)

So today we're having leftover sandwiches. I'm going to go out and get some more cranberries because I ate them all already, but other than that, it's leftovers all the way

In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. ~Thomas Szasz

Can't decide if I'm going to do a ziti bake or meatloaf. I pulled the hamburger from the freezer, but those were the two recipes I had planned. It depends on if the mushrooms in the fridge are still good, and if they're not if I have enough time and energy to drive to the store for fresh ones.

My friend cooked for me (since I still don't have a functional kitchen: ugh!) and she made pumpkin macaroni and cheese, Caesar salad and warm chocolate chip cookies with chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream. It was the perfect night of comfort food.

Getting ready to go on vacation - so using up stiff in the fridge ( big chef salad for lunch ! )

Tonight - DH bought a pre marinated pork tenderloin ( pretty small ) which should be grilled - but grill is in the shed. So I am going to brown it and cook it with a can of cream of soup to make gravy. Boys are having baked drumsticks
